-Jennifer Weremczuk, Snow Valley
Background
Snow Valley Edmonton is an outdoor recreation facility that provides year-round, premier outdoor adventures in the heart of the city.
In the winter, Snow Valley operates as a Ski Hill, employing over 350+ people. From May to October, an Aerial Park, a Campground, and a Banquet Facility for meetings, corporate events, and functions.
The not-for-profit organization is impacted by seasonality and sees a large fluctuation in staffing needs. MakeShift’s PeopleFirst™ scheduling solution made the scheduling process PainFree™ while saving time and enhancing the employee experience.
The Challenge
As a seasonal, event-driven business, Snow Valley, which uses ADP Workforce Now® for payroll, needed an agile employee scheduling solution that was accessible via desktop and mobile. Managers were spending a lot of time building schedules, which resulted in lost productivity. Shifts also went uncovered, which created a stressful environment for on-site staff who had to work twice as hard to deliver the amazing customer experience Snow Valley is known for.
Snow Valley was looking for a system that would:
• Reduce the time it took to build employee schedules.
• Track and communicate scheduling changes in real-time.
• Alert all employees when a shift needed to be covered or if additional
employees were required.
• Integrate with ADP® to eliminate duplicate entries and human error
during payroll.
